İBB Kültür A.Ş. Genel Müdür Yardımcısı Erhan Karaal, 33 saat içinde bulundu ve kurtarıldı.

“bu hız, bu çeviklik, bu operasyonal yetenek bir tek FBİ’da var” diye düşünüp şüpheye düştüyseniz, düşmeyin, çünkü bu olay, polisin içindeki köstebeklere karşı yine polisin gerçekleştirdiği bir operasyon. İddianamenin bir yerinde, var olduğu iddia edilen 500 kg altının kokusunu alan bir grup polis, dışardan bir çeteye operasyonu taşere ediyor, “namuslu polisler” ise iz sürerek tespiti yapıp Erhan Karaal’ı elleriyle koymuş gibi buluyorlar.

Yoksa, 33 saatte İstanbul’da bir kişiyi bulmak ancak FBİ filmlerinde olur.

"The hardest decision we had to make in completing this report was.. not to name the Palestinian children, whose deaths, injuries & suffering we describe.. we didn't name them because we feared the consequences for their families"

He means Israel would go after them too.

UN investigation finds Israel deliberately targeting Palestinian children to destroy biological continuity of Gaza
——
A UN-backed independent inquiry has charged Israeli authorities with deliberately targeting and killing Palestinian children as a central component of an ongoing genocide in Gaza. The follow-up report by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry concluded that the systemic killing, maiming, and starvation of minors establish the "genocidal intent" of Israeli security forces to erode the foundational structure of Palestinian society.

The report highlights that even following the October 2025 'ceasefire,' Palestinian children continue to be killed and seriously injured by gunfire, airstrikes, and quadcopter drones. The investigative team stated that the relentless military operations have effectively "erased childhood" in Gaza through mass trauma, forced displacement, and a severe orphan crisis.

Commission chair Judge Srinivasan Muralidhar noted that by targeting the youngest demographic, Israel is actively attacking the Palestinian people's capacity to exist and determine their own future.

According to data cited in the inquiry, at least 20,179 children were killed and over 44,000 injured during the first two years of the genocide alone, making lifetime disability a defining demographic reality for Gaza’s next generation.

The commission also documented a sharp increase in Israeli settler violence against children in the occupied West Bank, listing specific military divisions and brigades potentially responsible for these actions. The investigators have urged all UN member states to enforce immediate accountability for the documented war crimes and crimes against humanity.

This is how you protest. Not with cutest signs, not with cringey chants. Not with stupid hats. You roll up your sleeves and fuck some shit up.

I never thought in 2026, that i’d be rooting for Albania and Iran. But here we are.

Hillel Neuer, who denies zionist influence (control) in the US, brags about destroying Francesca Albanese's ability to conduct normal daily life transactions, and how they then went after her husband too.

10 years later, almost the exact same story. This Palestinian baby girl survived 4 days. Named after her murdered mum. Buried next to her.

This is 'israel'. This has always been 'israel'.

Ce matin, lundi 22 juin 2026, Raghad Hussein Ashour, 18 ans, originaire de Beit Hanoun, s'est réveillée pour passer son baccalauréat. Elle était la seule enfant de sa famille. Son père avait déjà été tué par Israël.

Elle était en route vers le centre d'examens d'Al‑Rimal, à Gaza. À 7h30, une frappe israélienne a visé les voitures près du centre commercial Al‑Rahab et du café Rivo. Raghad était dans la zone.

Et puis, il y a eu la deuxième frappe. La fameuse "double frappe". Une méthode israélienne bien connue : on bombarde, on attend que les secours arrivent, que les passants se rassemblent, puis on frappe à nouveau. Pour tuer ceux qui venaient sauver, pour achever les blessés, pour multiplier les morts. Des dizaines de blessés, des corps mutilés, des familles brisées. Et Raghad, 18 ans, fille unique, qui n'aura jamais son diplôme.

Quelle menace représentait-elle ? Un stylo. Un cahier. Un rêve d'avenir. Rien de plus. Mais à Gaza, un rêve est une provocation. Un examen, une cible. Une jeune fille en route vers l'école, une proie.

Israël connaît bien la méthode : frapper, attendre, refrapper. C'est leur marque de fabrique. Les ambulanciers, les civils, les étudiants, tout le monde est une cible légitime quand on est Palestinien.

Raghad avait 18 ans. Elle voulait réussir son bac. Elle est morte sous une seconde explosion, au milieu d'autres corps, d'autres rêves, d'autres vies que la machine sioniste a décidé d'éteindre.

Le crime de double frappe. Un crime de guerre. Un crime tout court.

Delivered by C‑section from her dead mother's body. 23 years old. 'israel' bombed and killed her. Buried them under rubble. The baby girl was named after her. Doctors gave her a 50/50 chance of survival. She died 5 days later and was buried next to her mum.

Check the date.

2000 yılında ziyaret ettiğim kentin dokusunun büyük değişimlere uğramadan korunması ne kadar kıymetli. Aynur hanım pek çok özelliği ile Lizbon’u İstanbul’a benzetmiş ancak şu anda Karaköy İskelesi’ne vapurla yaklaşırken Tophane yönüne baktığımızda Nusretiye Camii’ni bile tam olarak göremiyoruz.
Detaylandırırsak 10 yıl önce İstanbul’a gelen bir turist bugün tekrar geldiğinde büyük oranda yıkılan birinci derecede tarihi eser statüsündeki Paket Postanesi’ni veya tamamen yıkılan Türkiye'nin ilk modern deniz yolcusu salonu olan tarihi Karaköy Yolcu Salonu’nu göremeyecek meselâ.

They were in Lebanon.

THEY WERE IN LEBANON.

THEY WERE KILLED IN FUCKING LEBANON, THE COUNTRY THEY WERE FUCKING INVADING.

I feel like I'm going insane.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

I have never heard of a country invading a neighbor and then calling it unfair that their soldiers died in that invasion. I don’t think any other country ever even thought to make that complaint.

On top of that, Israel now wants to retaliate for its soldiers being killed while invading their neighbor.

This is pure madness. Just leave Lebanon.

1. I went to Jewish school from kindergarten to 12th grade
2. I come from a deeply Zionist family
3. I’ve been to Israel on a number of occasions, including to places that border the West Bank.

I’m an anti-Israel Jew. It’s a genocidal apartheid state. Sue me
